The Game of the Year Awards are approaching fast. Game of the Year is similar to the Oscars but for video games. People also predict on who will win or who performed the best music or best acting. Here are some of my Game of the Year predictions.
Best Narrative
This award is for the game that has amazing storytelling and development the more the player plays the game. My prediction is that Baldur’s Gate 3 will win this award. Baldur’s Gate 3 is an RPG-like game that allows the player to decide how the story goes. Lots of people have told me the amazing story that the game holds and after looking at it myself, I believe that it will win this award.
Best Art Direction
This award is given for the game’s unique art design and creativity. I believe that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will win this award. Tears of the Kingdom uses a special cell shading that makes the game look handmade. Its unique style of design is why I believe it will win the award.
Best Performance
This award is given to the actor who played their character the best. I think that Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Spider-Man, has the best performance of the year. He is an experienced voice actor and has played numerous characters before being Spider-Man. His amazing ability to voice a character with such passion is why I believe he will win.
Innovation in Accessibility
The award is given to the game that pushes its limits on technology to be enjoyed by a wider audience. I believe that Hi-Fi Rush will win this award. Hi-Fi Rush is a game where the player goes by the rhythm of the music to reach the final boss and put a stop to them. The game has amazing graphics and lets players have access to many of the game’s accessibility so the game can be played the way they like. With the ability to be player-friendly for people who can’t follow the rhythm well, I think that this game will win this award.
Best Game Direction
This is awarded to the game for its creative vision for its game design. I believe Spider-Man 2 will win this award. Spider-Man 2 has improved on certain things better than its predecessors. The map in the game is twice as big and with the ability to play as two Spider-Men, I think Spider-Man 2 will win.
Game of the Year
This is awarded to the game that delivered the best experience and performed amazingly in all creative and technical fields. The game I think will win Game of the Year is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I think it will win because not only did the prequel win back in 2017, but it has improved off the last game and feels like a whole new game. It has brought back its fandom and has come into a new generation of gamers so they know about The Legend of Zelda series. So I believe that this will win Game of the Year.
These were some of my predictions on who will win what award. I hope that my predictions come true and if they don’t it’s fine. I wonder how the next Game of the Year will turn out.
